My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Redwood Pals also has a lovely female dog named Vera that we pulled out of the shelter and placed
with another great foster. Vera is about 2 years old and is a nice medium size at 50 pounds. She is living
with three other dogs and is quite happy to be part of the pack.

Janna Campillo from Redwood Coast K9 Academy offered us a free training class and Vera was the lucky recipient. Her fosters say the K9 Fundamentals class gave her a wonderful opportunity for socialization and that she demonstrated an excellent understanding of verbal and hand cues for basic commands.

At home, Vera is perfectly potty trained, sleeps well in her crate, and has proven to be a very polite houseguest. If she could sleep in a sunbeam or on the couch with her human all day, she would be a very happy girl. On a recent road trip, Vera learned that strangers will give her treats and that hotel rooms can be a lot of fun! This petite cattle dog/pittie mix has had a few weeks to decompress from the shelter and is ready to find her forever home. If you are looking for a great companion dog that is past the puppy stage, contact us.

More about this rescue

Redwood Pals Rescue was formed to keep the euthanasia rate low at our local county shelter which is a kill facility. We are an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to support rescue and adoption efforts of animals that are at risk in the Humboldt County Animal Shelter.

Some of the things we do:
* rescue animals in danger of being euthanized at the Humboldt County Animal Shelter

* place rescued animals into permanent adoptive homes;

* facilitate transportation of rescue animals to out-of-area rescue organizations, fosterers, and adoptive homes;

* train/rehabilitate rescue animals to facilitate their placement into permanent adoptive homes;

* to provide temporary foster of shelter animals with medical needs to facilitate their placement into permanent adoptive homes;

* provide educational outreach to promote the adoption of shelter and rescue animals as pets;

* improve the quality of life for animals at the Humboldt County Animal Shelter;

* encourage and facilitate proper veterinary care including vaccinations, spaying and neutering;

We always need: Donations! which can be sent to our P.O. Box or through Razoo. Fosters! We do not have a shelter of our own but instead rely on kennel space for our rescue dogs at the shelter (when it isn't full) or with our network of foster homes. We sometimes have to emergency board dogs to save their lives. We would rather have them in a foster home. Volunteers! if you are interested in volunteering let us know. We are a small group and could always use more help.
